As a fully qualified teacher* I enjoy assisting those who are struggling with English discover new and interesting ways to make real progress!

I currently teach GCSE English, Functional Skills English, and English as a second language (ESOL) at Bridgwater and Taunton College, as well as teaching private students from my own home.

I would welcome the opportunity to take on more ESOL students. I have taught many areas and levels of ESOL, from teaching Syrian refugees with almost no English, through to preparing international nurses for their IELTS exams.
